Mr. Buzby state.) it more than ; surprised him why any person ' could entertain a .iouht concern- ; i ill* the success of a hotel built j i and properly managed on the Jer i

Sjaey toast. Stretching from the | Brigantine lighthouse to the Cape May lighthouse, there arc mitor of velvety sands that cannot I* found in any other part of the country. This filfty miles of un » parallel bathing beach had a po,r d ulution „f over 110 millions from ■- which to draw its patronage, n therefore there should be an abtm- * I dance of business for all. " I There was absolutely no rivalry t !*,wewi 0cean C'ty and Atlantic Mr. Buzby added. Ocean " City stood i na class by itself, the Premier Pamil.v Resort in Amer-' ■l ica. The only thing the citv had n lacked was a first-class hotel, filler* the speaker interjected some r; valuable counsel. 1 "I have come here to tell you." ^ said he. '■that when the hotel is finished, do not imagine your work | " 'lone. In fact it is then just be- '• ginning. Ocean City has at the present time hotels good enough for the class of people who patB i ronize the resort in June, July and f August. To make your city a real resort you must lengthen the season. There is no earthly reason '' why your season should not lie1 irni on- April the 1st 'and end on f Thanksgiving Day." ■ ..MomsKivii.g way.

f -Mi. Iluzhy proceeded then to give a brief resume of the methods 'by which Atlantic City had de- • ve loped a,, all year season. The pioneer Imtels were the Dennis , ami the Brighton, which ijj the , * year tf«3 liegah to keep open all. , the year. It was not until the t ' ! yeat lf*02 however that the enter j e | prise liegan to pay. j , "Nor will you, "said Mr. Buzby ' . impressively, "develop un all year I f business, unlc- - you and your liu- 1 . sines* men are prepared to make 1 . sacrifices at the beginning. Pen- » I pie will not stay if your merrhants and cottagers hoard ami barricade ' i up their places as soon as l-abor < p i "ay i> gone. " i , As the treasurer of the hotel * f corporation, W. K. Mussey's speech 1 f oliviously .lealt with the financial 1 , ' side of the project, e Mr. Mussey's statement was in ( 'every respect encouraging and s flattering, and hramled as false, jjthe malicious rumors circulated ' ■ jiiiat the subscribers were failing J j tn meet their obligations. As a y j matter of fact delini|uence.s were ( ccimparitively very small, and were 1 moreover all properly ami satis- J i factorily explained. f j Tlie directors had not failed in , j a single instance in meeting the , _ 1 demands, as the -work advance.);', , ! nor hail they reason to fear they | _ j would not continue to do so. , The Hotel Flanders had the un- i : j divided support of 893 subscribers. ;

. i The number however should he , . I not less than lfi.000, each man or of whom, would of neres- , sitjt lie a booster. To complete the hotel however, . according to the original plans, ,j w hich would assure for Ocean City i an establishment second to none i on the coast, in point of artistic • j effect, refinement, comfort, mod1 1 ern conveniences, and unk)ue fea- ■ it was necessary to launch

ie a second campaign for at least e $350,000. w Mr. Mussey turned the meeting * over then to the irrepressahle Dr. e Corson. "This is not the time to i- t.ifk about building a hotel," said y tlie doctor. "That's a thing of the , n past, Tlie hotel is mounting up- '• ward rapidly. The task now is to i- finish the iiotel in a manner we can lie justly proud of." y Whereupon, as already stated, , c Di. Corson called for pledges, and , n in tlie space of twenty-five minue tes, JUKI, 000 was subscribed. No- , - thing of stronger character in sup- , d port of tlie hotel can lie said, than I. that quite a numlier of persons, . e who had subsct'ilied' as much as f 5,000 to the first drive, doubled , " their, subscriptions on Wednesday.', s One gentlemen added $.1,000 to t k his original subscription of J 10,- I - 000. The utmost enthusiasm pre- l s vailed, and pledges came in as fast i as several volunteers, could hand i - around the subscription blanks. I ' Never has there lieen an under- ' ' taking, of the like character, been ' - launched under more propitious ' ' circumstances towards ultimate"!

The game was a rugh ami tu- ( I ruble affair from start to finish. ^ Breitxman seemed to have very little knowledge of the game i of liasket hall.
